Description
Technical field
The technology of the figure that the present invention relates to use fluid ejection head (for example, ink jet type head) to form or describe to stipulate.
Background technology
In general, liquid crystal indicator is installed in personal computer, word processor, pinball game machine, auto-navigation system, the minitelevision etc., and requirement increases in recent years., liquid crystal indicator price height requires liquid crystal indicator to reduce cost day by day consumingly.Particularly in the constituent part of liquid crystal indicator, the benefit cost ratio of color filter is big, lowers the requirement very high to the cost of color filter.
The color filter that uses in the liquid crystal indicator is that the color-filter element of red with being painted to (R), green (G), blue (B) etc. is arranged in and constitutes on the transparency carrier, in order to improve the demonstration contrast of liquid crystal indicator, the black matrix (BM) of shading is set around these each color-filter elements again.About BM, use the Cr metallic film, the resin B M that uses black resin is also arranged in recent years.
In order to improve flatness etc., comprising that forming the thickness that is made of propylene series plastics or epoxy series plastics on the dyed layer of color-filter unit is 0.5～2 micron external coating (protective seam), forms transparency electrode (ITO) film again on it.
As the color-filter unit method of colouring that makes color filter, known so far have a whole bag of tricks, and decoration method, pigment dispersing method, electrodeposition process, print process etc. are wherein arranged.
So-called decoration method, be to be coated on the glass substrate as the water-soluble high-molecular material of material of dyeing usefulness, be etched into the figure of regulation with photoetching process after, be immersed in carry out in the dyeing liquor painted, carry out RGB painted operation of all kinds repeatedly, obtain a kind of method of color filter.
So-called pigment dispersing method is to utilize spin coated machine etc., is forming on the transparency carrier the layer of pigment dispersing in the photoresist material, and of all kinds respectively carry out respectively once of RGB added up to three times repeatedly the operation of its composition, obtains a kind of method of RGB color filter.
So-called electrodeposition process, be on transparency carrier to the transparency electrode composition, be immersed in and carry out paintedly in the electrodeposition coating liquid of pigment, resin, electrolytic solution etc., carry out RGB painted operation of all kinds repeatedly, obtain a kind of method of color filter.
So-called print process is painted by carry out hectograph (offset) printing with the thermmohardening type resin that has disperseed the pigment class colorant, carries out RGB painted operation of all kinds repeatedly, obtains a kind of method of color filter.
The common ground of above-mentioned color filter manufacture method is in order to carry out the painted of RGB three looks, need to carry out same operation, cost of idleness repeatedly.There is the problem that process number is many, product percent of pass is low in addition.
In order to compensate these shortcomings, open the spy that clear 59-75205 communique, spy are opened clear 63-235901 communique or special opening in the flat 1-217320 communique etc. discloses a kind of manufacture method that adopts the color filter of ink-jetting style.Ink-jetting style is to be ejected on the transparency carrier with the coloured material that ink-jet method will contain the RGB colorant, carries out painted drying and fixes, and forms a kind of method of color-filter unit.Owing to can form necessary RGB three looks of color filter simultaneously, so can obtain the effect that manufacturing process is simple, cost is low.In addition, compare, because process number is few, so can realize the raising of product percent of pass with decoration method, pigment dispersing method, electrodeposition process, print process etc.
; in the color filter that in general liquid crystal indicator etc., uses; the shape that each pixel is separated the black matrix openings portion (being pixel) of usefulness is rectangle; different therewith; owing to the shape of the ink droplet that sprays from ink gun is roughly rounded; so once spray in the pixel necessary China ink amount, and in whole peristomes of black matrix, make China ink equably diffusion be difficult.Therefore, on one side make ink gun carry out main sweep,, carry out painted Yi Bian a pixel on the substrate is sprayed a plurality of ink droplets with respect to substrate.
In addition, dispersing of the China ink amount of filling in each pixel is more little, can reduce unevenness more, can make high-grade color filter.
, from the China ink amount of ink gun ejection, owing to constitute the discrete different of the nozzle of head or the structure relevant with ejection, driving mechanism, drive characteristic, even spray driving under same ejection drive condition, the spray volume between each nozzle is also different sometimes.In the case, even to the China ink of each pixel ejection equal number, because employed nozzle difference, the black loading of each pixel is discrete, and this China ink loading discrete causes inhomogeneous between pixel, becomes the grade of color filter and the reason that qualification rate descends.
In order to solve the even problem of this density unevenness, take following two kinds of methods (position correction, tone (shading) are revised) so far.In addition, explanation here utilizes the situation of the ink gun of heat energy ejection China ink.
At first, open described in the flat 9-281324 communique, the modification method (hereinafter referred to as position revise) of Figure 11 to the difference of the ink ejection amount between each nozzle of the ink gun IJH that a plurality of ink nozzles are arranged shown in Figure 13 is described as the spy.
At first, as shown in figure 11, be that nozzle 1, nozzle 2, nozzle 3 are ejected into China ink on the substrate of regulation from for example three nozzles of ink gun IJH, measure the size of the ink dot that forms in substrate P from the China ink of each nozzle ejection, measure the black spray volume of each nozzle.At this moment, make the thermal pulse on the well heater that is added in each nozzle be certain amplitude, change the amplitude of preheat pulse.Therefore, obtained the curve of the relation of expression preheat pulse width shown in Figure 12 and black spray volume.Here, for example suppose that then from curve shown in Figure 12 as can be known, the preheat pulse width that is added on the nozzle 1 is 1.0 μ s, is 0.5 μ s on the nozzle 2, is 0.75 μ s on the nozzle 3 with all unified 20ng of being of black spray volume of each nozzle.Therefore, in the well heater of each nozzle,, as shown in figure 13, can make the black spray volume of each nozzle all consistent with 20ng by preheat pulse addition with these each amplitude sizes.Like this, the black spray volume of revising each nozzle being called the position revises.
Secondly, Figure 14 and Figure 15 are that expression sprays density by the China ink of adjusting ink nozzle, revise the figure of ink gun along the uneven method (to call tonal correction in the following text) of the concentration of direction of scanning.For example as shown in figure 14, with the black spray volume of the nozzle 3 of ink gun during as benchmark, the black spray volume of supposing nozzle 1 for-10%, the black spray volume of nozzle 2 is+20%.At this moment, as shown in figure 15, ink gun IJH is scanned on one side, in 9 times of reference clock, each time thermal pulse is added on the well heater of nozzle 1 on one side, in 12 times of reference clock, each time thermal pulse is added on the well heater of nozzle 2, in 10 times of reference clock, thermal pulse is added on the well heater of nozzle 3 each time.By doing like this, as shown in figure 14, each nozzle is changed along the China ink ejection number of direction of scanning, can make the pixel of color filter interior certain along the black density of direction of scanning, can prevent that the density unevenness of each pixel is even.Like this, the China ink ejection density of revising the direction of scanning is called tonal correction.
As reducing the even method of density unevenness, though known have two kinds of above-mentioned methods, but so far, for example open in the color filter that put down in writing in the flat 8-179110 communique of all kinds be painted to strip the spy, adopt the back a kind of tonal correction method in two kinds of above-mentioned methods, pixel column as a unit, is adjusted the ejection spacing, adjusted spray volume a pixel column.In addition, in the color filter of this strip, between pixel column of all kinds, be provided with colour mixture and prevent wall, so that the Mo Buhui of the specified color of pixel column ejection is flow in the not homochromy adjacent pixels row.
; between above-mentioned pixel column of all kinds, colour mixture is set and prevents wall; not to be painted in the color filter of strip; colour mixture is not set between pixel prevents wall; next door between the pixel is in the color filter of BM (black matrix), if with a pixel column as a unit, China ink is sprayed into wire; then the China ink that sprays on hydrophobic BM is arranged can flow in the adjacent pixel region, so the spray volume in the managing pixel is very difficult.
In other words, in the ejection of adjusting above-mentioned tonal correction method at interval, it is difficult that the black quantity delivered in the pixel is controlled to be ormal weight.
Because the height of color filter pixel becomes more meticulous, and elemental area has the tendency of dwindling, the control of the black loading in the pixel is more and more difficult in addition.
Therefore, in the even reduction method of two above-mentioned density unevenness, the new correspondence that the inhomogeneous grade of the color filter that is brought by the method (position is revised) of the spray volume homogenising that makes the former improves becomes important problem.
Promptly, not with a pixel column as a unit, and with a pixel as a unit, carry out in the form of adjustment of black loading, the homogenising that the black loading in each pixel is carried out in the rheme correction in the employing can think effectively, so look forward to utilizing with open-and-shut structure realization the form of the homogenising of the black loading that this correction carries out.
As first problem that the high-grade color filter of such manufacturing is used, can enumerate the homogenising of utilizing the position to revise the liquid filling amount in the regulation zone (pixel) of carrying out.
, whether the black spray volume of a nozzle is subjected to carry out the influence of China ink ejection from adjacent nozzle at synchronization, and adjacent nozzle is under the situation that synchronization sprays and under the situation about not spraying, the spray volume difference.In addition, in this manual, this phenomenon is called adjacent nozzle crosstalks.In order to make black spray volume homogenising, eliminate inhomogeneous between pixel, preferably consider to change by this adjacent nozzle spray volume that causes of crosstalking.
Shown in Figure 35 as measurement result example motivation of the present invention, that adjacent nozzle is crosstalked.
In Figure 35, show a plurality of nozzles to ink gun (being 80ch here) and make ejection timing leading or postpone or cross the control that does not spray China ink, by these control, the situation how spray volume changes from nozzle ejection China ink.Show especially by above-mentioned adjacent nozzle and crosstalk and influence that the spray volume that produces changes.In detail, in Figure 35, all in the nozzle (80ch), be conceived to the spray volume of N nozzle (ch12), carry out this spray volume of having nozzle in mind and measure.When this spray volume was measured, in whole mensuration processes, it was certain to keep driving voltage, electric current, the pulse waveform of having nozzle (ch12) in mind.The situation that the ejection of having nozzle (ch12) in mind, the ejection timing that makes peripheral nozzle are changed is shown in Figure 35 like this.
In Figure 35, a is the spray volume that sprays the ch12 in when China ink from whole nozzles (80ch) simultaneously, and it as 100, is represented with the line chart on right side.
The spray volume of ch12 when b is half nozzle (40ch) the ejection China ink of selecting from whole nozzles (80ch).In this nozzle selection, carry out the China ink ejection simultaneously from ch11, ch13 as the adjacent nozzle of ch12.In the case, the spray volume than a lacks 1%.
C is among the 80ch, the spray volume of the ch12 nozzle when having carried out with the 40ch of b different choice ejection China ink.In this nozzle selection, from not carrying out the China ink ejection as ch11 and ch13 with the ch12 adjacent nozzle.In the case, the spray volume than a lacks 5%.
D is among the 80ch, the spray volume of the ch12 nozzle when having carried out ejection timing ejection China ink with the 40ch of the identical selection of c that staggers.In this nozzle selection, from not carrying out the China ink ejection as ch11 and ch13 with the ch12 adjacent nozzle.In addition, have nozzle (ch12) residue nozzle (39ch) in addition here in mind and carry out the China ink ejection than having nozzle (ch12) delay 10 μ sec in mind.In the case, lack 7%, in addition, lack 2% than the spray volume of c than the spray volume of a
E is among the 80ch, only the spray volume when ch12 sprays China ink separately.In this nozzle selection, lack 12% than the spray volume of a.Otherwise, under the situation that the 80ch of a sprays simultaneously, compare many 12% spray volume with the independent ejection of the ch of e.
F is among the 80ch, the spray volume of the ch12 nozzle when having carried out with the 40ch of d different choice ejection China ink.In this nozzle selection, from carrying out the China ink ejection as ch11 and ch13 with the ch12 adjacent nozzle.Here, have nozzle (ch12) residue nozzle (39ch) in addition in mind and carry out the China ink ejection than having nozzle (ch12) delay 10 μ sec in mind.In the case, the spray volume than e also lacks 7%.
G carries out the China ink ejection from whole nozzles (80ch), has nozzle (ch12) whole nozzles (remaining 79ch) in addition in mind and also carries out the China ink ejection than having nozzle (ch12) delay 10 μ sec in mind.In the case, also lack 9% than the spray volume of e,
Crosstalking between the nozzle that the pressure-wave propagation from black liquid chamber 114 to the China ink on each liquid road 110 produces can illustrate the genesis mechanism of above phenomenon.That is, compare with the situation of having the independent ejection e that nozzle carries out in mind, spray simultaneously in the situation of a at 80ch, the pressure wave of having nozzle (ch12) nozzle (all 79ch) ejection in addition in mind encourages the ejection of having nozzle (ch12) in mind, so a increases ejection.
B and c increase spray volume owing to be that 40ch sprays simultaneously hardly so 80ch sprays simultaneously.In addition, b compares with c, because the former carries out the China ink ejection from adjacent nozzle, so increase the spray volume of its different piece.That is, whether carry out the China ink ejection simultaneously, the ejection of having nozzle (ch12) in mind is had the greatest impact from adjacent nozzle.
Secondly, if compare a and e and g,, just can change the spray volume of having nozzle (ch12) in mind if then change the ejection timing of having nozzle (ch12) nozzle in addition in mind as can be known.Compare with e, shown in a, spray simultaneously if make other nozzles and have nozzle in mind, then can increase the spray volume of having nozzle in mind, but compare, shown in g with e, spray constantly if make other nozzles postpone a little, then can reduce the spray volume of having nozzle in mind on the contrary with respect to ch12.This interference phase place with the pressure wave that other nozzles produce is opposite, and its effect is to offset the ejection pressure of having nozzle in mind.
Equally,, also can learn when having changed the ejection timing of having nozzle other nozzles in addition in mind, can change the spray volume of having nozzle in mind even compare b and e and f.
In addition, the situation that has compared b and e and f is compared with the situation of e and g with having compared a, we can say the difference with respect to the ejection timing of residue nozzle, the spray volume variation of having nozzle (ch12) in mind is little, only is equivalent to have in mind nozzle (ch12) the few part of residue nozzle number in addition.
In addition, with respect to the difference of ejection timing of residue nozzle, the variation of having the spray volume of nozzle (ch12) in mind is had in mind the having the greatest impact of adjacent nozzle of nozzle, if but relatively c and d, then the influence that produces of 3 nozzles or the more nozzle that separates is little.
As mentioned above, the having or not with ejection timing of ejection ejection of having nozzle other nozzles in addition in mind exerts an influence to the black spray volume of having nozzle in mind, but do not consider this influence so far.In other words, if the change of the change of the change of generation use nozzle number or the combination of use nozzle or the ejection timing of each nozzle, then the spray volume of each nozzle just changes, sometimes it is even because this spray volume changes density unevenness to take place between pixel, so consider that preferably the spray volume that crosstalking of above-mentioned adjacent nozzle causes changes when making high-grade color filter.
In addition, though figure form preceding or graphic depiction before, revise by the position and to make the spray volume of each nozzle even, the spray volume that crosstalking of above-mentioned adjacent nozzle cause also can take place sometimes change, so wish to consider this point.
Like this, beyond the spray volume variation of making second problem that more high-grade color filter is used, can enumerate the generation of crosstalking of having considered adjacent nozzle, the homogenising of liquid filling amount in regulation zone (pixel).
In addition, so far, though be that example has illustrated the manufacturing object thing, not only in the manufacturing of color filter, produce above-mentioned first and second problem with the color filter, the liquid quantity delivered in the regulation zone on the substrate being controlled under the situation of ormal weight, produce such problem equally.For example,, make under the situation of EL display element, also produce same problem using jet head (ink jet type head) with the regulation zone on EL (electroluminescence) the material liquid supplying substrate of ormal weight.In addition, with jet head (ink jet type head) with the regulation zone on conductive membrane material liquid (liquid that the contains metallic element) supplying substrate of ormal weight, be manufactured under the situation of the display panel that forms the electron-emitting device of conductive membrane on the substrate or comprise a plurality of these elements, also produce same problem.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the present invention finishes in view of above-mentioned problem, and its purpose is to use simple structure, makes the liquid spray volume of each nozzle of jet head (for example, ink jet type head) even.
In addition, another object of the present invention is to use simple structure, changes the liquid spray volume of each nozzle independently.
In addition, a further object of the present invention is can be simply the liquid quantity delivered in the regulation zone (pixel) on the substrate to be controlled to ormal weight, makes the liquid quantity delivered in regulation zone (pixel) even.And, therefore the liquid filling amount in each regulation zone (pixel) is even, and the display device of making the high-grade color filter that satisfied the desired characteristic of each pixel and EL display element etc. is with panel or electron-emitting device and comprise the display panel of this electron-emitting device.

Fig. 3 is the figure of the general structure of expression ink gun IJH.
In device shown in Figure 1, ink gun 55 is provided with three corresponding to R, G, B three looks, but because the structure of this three stature is identical respectively, so show one structure in this three stature among Fig. 3 typically.
The substrate that a plurality of well heaters that ink gun IJH is used by heated ink in Fig. 3 form is that heating plate 104 and the ceiling 106 that covers on this heating plate 104 constitute briefly.On ceiling 106, form a plurality of ejiction openings 108, form the tunnel-shaped liquid road 110 that is communicated with this ejiction opening 108 at the rear of ejiction opening 108.Each liquid road 110 utilizes next door 112 isolated with adjacent liquid road.Each liquid road 110 is connected on the black liquid chamber 114 jointly at its rear, and China ink is supplied to black liquid chamber 114 by black supply port 116, and this China ink is supplied to each liquid road 110 from black liquid chamber 114.
Heating plate 104 and ceiling 106 are configured to, and each well heater 102 is positioned on the position corresponding to each liquid road 110, is installed into state shown in Figure 3.Though only show two well heaters 102 in Fig. 3, well heater 102 disposes correspondingly with each liquid road 110.Under the state of assembling shown in Figure 3, if the driving pulse of regulation is supplied with well heater 102, the then boiling of the China ink on the well heater 102 forms bubble.Because the volumetric expansion of this bubble is sprayed China ink so China ink extrudes from ejiction opening 108.Therefore control is added in the driving pulse on the well heater 102, regulates the size of bubble, can control from the volume of the China ink of ejiction opening ejection.As controlled variable, the power of supply well heater etc. is arranged.
Fig. 4 is that explanation makes the variable power that is added in like this on the well heater, the figure that the method for the spray volume of control China ink is used.
In this embodiment, in order to adjust the spray volume of China ink, two kinds of action of low-voltage pulse are added on the well heater 102.So-called two kinds of pulses as shown in Figure 4, are preheat pulse and main thermal pulse (below, be called for short thermal pulse).Preheat pulse is in fact to spray the pulse that the black temperature that before China ink is heated to regulation is used, and is set to the short value than the necessary minimum pulse width t5 of ejection China ink.Therefore, utilize this preheat pulse can not spray China ink.Why preheat pulse being added on the well heater 102, is in order to rise to certain temperature by the initial temperature that makes China ink, to make the spray volume of China ink often keep certain then when applying certain thermal pulse.In addition, by regulating the wavelength of preheat pulse, regulate the temperature of China ink in advance on the contrary,, also can make the spray volume difference of China ink even under the situation that has applied same thermal pulse.In addition, heat up, have the black effect that the required time rises soon, response is good of the ejection of when applying thermal pulse, making by before applying thermal pulse, making China ink.
On the other hand, thermal pulse is the pulse that in fact sprays black usefulness, sets longlyer than the needed minimum pulse width t5 of the above-mentioned China ink of ejection.The energy that well heater 102 produces is directly proportional with the width (heat time heating time) of thermal pulse, so by regulating the width of this thermal pulse, can regulate the dispersing of characteristic of well heater 102.
In addition, regulate the interval of preheat pulse and thermal pulse, control the thermal diffusion state that preheat pulse produces, also can regulate the spray volume of China ink.
From above explanation as can be known,, also can regulate the spray volume of China ink, by regulating applying at interval of preheat pulse and thermal pulse, also can regulate the spray volume of China ink in addition by regulating the application time of preheat pulse and thermal pulse.Therefore, as required, by the application time of adjusting preheat pulse and thermal pulse or applying at interval of preheat pulse and thermal pulse, the ejection that can regulate black spray volume or China ink freely is to applying the response of pulse.Particularly make under the painted situation of color filter, mean and suppress look uneven generation, preferably make between each colour filter element or colour filter element in colour saturation (colour saturation) roughly even, for this reason, control the black spray volume of each nozzle identical sometimes.If the black spray volume of each nozzle is identical, the China ink amount that then enters in each colour filter element is identical, thus can make between the colour filter element colour saturation roughly the same.In addition, can also reduce inhomogeneous in the colour filter element.Therefore, when desire was regulated the black spray volume of each nozzle identical, the control of carrying out above-mentioned black spray volume got final product.
Secondly, Fig. 5 A～F is the figure of the manufacturing process of expression color filter.Manufacturing process with reference to Fig. 5 A～F explanation color filter 54.
Fig. 5 A represents to have the glass substrate 1 of the black matrix 2 that constitutes light transmission department 9 and light shielding part 10.At first, application of resin constituent on the substrate 1 that has formed black matrix 2, this resin combination itself is rich in black compatibility, but the compatibility of when illumination or illumination and heating (for example) China ink descends under a certain condition, under a certain condition, has simultaneously the characteristic of sclerosis, as required, carry out preliminary drying, form resin combination 3 (Fig. 5 B).When forming resin combination 3, can adopt coating methods such as spin coated, roller coat, bar (bar) are coated with, spraying, dip-coating, not limit especially.
Secondly, use photomask 4, in advance the resin bed on the light transmission department 9 is carried out composition exposure, make resin bed reduce a part of black compatibility (Fig. 5 C), on resin combination layer 3, form black compatibility part 6 and the low part 5 (Fig. 5 D) of black compatibility.In addition, Yi Bian ink gun on substrate, relatively repeatedly scan, Yi Bian when China ink ejection, ink gun is fixed, substrate is moved, carry out relative scan condition, and substrate fixed, ink gun is moved, it all is possible carrying out relative scan condition.
Adopt ink-jetting style then, R (red), G (green), B (indigo plant) China ink of all kinds are ejected on the resin combination layer 3, once carry out painted (Fig. 5 E), as required, carry out the drying of China ink.As ink-jetting style, can enumerate the mode of utilizing heat energy or the mode of utilizing mechanical energy, any mode can both be suitable for.As employed China ink, so long as can as China ink use can, do not limit especially, as the colorant of China ink, can from various dyestuffs or pigment, suitably select to be suitable for the material of R, G, the desired transmitted spectrum of each pixel of B.In addition from the China ink of ink gun ejection attached to the moment on the resin combination layer 3, drip a shape though can be, preferably be not separated into and drip a shape, but under the state of column, adhere to from ink gun.
Secondly, carry out illumination or illumination and heat treated, resin combination layer 3 sclerosis that make painted as required, form protective seam 8 (Fig. 5 F).In order to make this resin combination layer 3 sclerosis, the different condition of condition in the time of can adopting with previous ink-resistant processing for example increases the exposure in the illumination or makes the heating condition strictness or and methods such as usefulness illumination and heat treated.

Secondly, as described in (3), poor according to the poor of 2 of the many some Vd2 of spray volume and few some Vd1 and magnitude of voltage V2 at this moment and V1 calculated the variable quantity (be called and revise sensitivity) of the spray volume when making voltage variable here.In addition, the relation of magnitude of voltage and the black spray volume corresponding with it as shown in figure 22, above-mentioned correction sensitivity K is equivalent to the slope of the straight line shown in the figure.Spray volume when each nozzle having been measured that drive signal voltage is 18V, 20V, 24V here.
Secondly, as described in (4), the spray volume of the whole nozzles under the drive condition that has used when having measured actual describing is calculated the average spray volume Vdx of whole nozzles.According to the spray volume VdnN of each nozzle and the poor and above-mentioned correction sensitivity K of average spray volume Vdx, each nozzle is calculated correction VdnNY.In signal voltage control circuit 313 shown in Figure 180, set the correction VdnNY that tries to achieve like this.After the setting, carry out the China ink ejection,, carry out (4), the correcting process of (5) item among Figure 21, till the target spray volume is corrected according to its rendering results.
Secondly, the disperse relation of (spray volume disperses) of the dullness under the state after state dullness down discrete (spray volume is discrete) before correction shown in Figure 21 has been shown among Figure 23 carries out in proper order and correction are carried out in proper order.Spray volume discrete data before revising is the spray volume discrete data of expression when whole driving voltages are set at 19V, discrete reaching+4%.On the other hand, as shown in Figure 21, calculate the average spray volume of whole nozzles, poor and above-mentioned correction sensitivity K according to the spray volume of this average spray volume and each nozzle, calculate the correction of each nozzle, carrying out with this correction under the situation about revising, this revised spray volume discrete energy is suppressed in ± 1% in.In addition, under the situation of present embodiment,, can make spray volume change 1%,, can carry out about 0.5% spray volume control in addition by reducing to set resolution with the setting resolution of signal sets voltage about as 100mV.
More than handle is the black spray volume of revising each nozzle.Situation when this spray volume correction is applied to describing of color filter neatly is described below.Figure 16 is the figure of spread geometry of the pixel of expression color filter, and Figure 17 is that the revised figure that describes state of spray volume has been carried out in expression.Here, individually control the spray volume of each nozzle, make the black spray volume of each nozzle consistent, make the China ink amount of filling in each pixel even with desired value.In detail, as shown in figure 17, carry out the correction of driving voltage,, therefore, make each spray volume homogenising of dripping, the black loading in each pixel is equated from each nozzle ejection so that the black spray volume of each nozzle is identical.If adopt this structure, then owing to making the black loading in the pixel identical, so can make the high-grade color filter that does not have density unevenness even.
In addition, in the nozzle that uses, taking place to spray under the situation of black not jetting nozzle, shown in two pixels on Figure 17 right side, by increasing the spray volume of each China ink, replenish and the not minimizing of the spray volume that accompanies of jetting nozzle, the black spray volume in the pixel is modified to desired value (should be ejected into the China ink amount in the pixel originally).In detail, in Figure 17, make 5 nozzles relative, spray a China ink respectively, finish the China ink of a pixel is filled (with reference to 3 pixels in left side among the figure) from these 5 nozzles with a pixel.In 5 above-mentioned nozzles, become at a nozzle under the situation of jetting nozzle not, form pixels (with reference to second pixel that begins from the right side) from 4 China inks of 4 nozzles.Set the black spray volume that does not have variation with the common situation of 5 China inks of ejection, certainly, the black loading in the pixel has reduced.Therefore, in order to finish above-mentioned aim parameter with 4 Mo Yeneng, method is to increase the black spray volume that each drips.This routine situation with the common situation of 5 of pixel ejections is compared, the spray volume that preferably makes each China ink is 5/4 doubly.Equally, in 5 nozzles corresponding to a pixel, two nozzles become not jetting nozzle, with under the situation of a pixel of 3 China ink formation (with reference to first pixel that begins from the right side), compare with common situation, the spray volume that preferably makes each China ink is 5/3 doubly, makes the black spray volume in the pixel consistent with aim parameter.In addition, set the driving voltage of each nozzle like this,, also can make each drip China ink amount homogenising of China ink from each nozzle ejection even so that jetting nozzle is not taking place, increasing under the situation of black spray volume.
In addition, different with the color filter among Figure 17, even make the color filter that pixel column is arranged along the direction vertical with respect to the direction of scanning of head, can be suitable for too.
The effect of the spray volume correction when here, showing actual color filter and describe.
The state that the spray volume of each nozzle when Figure 24 represents not revise is discrete.This is an example of the spray volume distribution of a stature arbitrarily.As shown in the figure, under the state before correction, the spray volume between each nozzle is discrete big.
On the other hand, Figure 25 shows according to above-mentioned spray volume modification method, the discrete state of revised spray volume when the nozzle that uses in describing has been carried out the spray volume correction.As shown in the figure, the nozzle that uses when describing can be suppressed at ± below 1%, describe under this condition revised spray volume is discrete, can make inhomogeneous color filter few, of high grade.
In addition, in above embodiment, as being used for making the variable spray volume units of variance of black spray volume, use can be set at the magnitude of voltage of drive signal variable Control of Voltage parts, corresponding to each nozzle this Control of Voltage parts are set, by changing the setting voltage of drive signal, realized spray volume variable of each nozzle, but be not limited to above-mentioned Control of Voltage parts as the spray volume units of variance.For example, also can necessarily change the pulse width of drive signal, carry out the spray volume adjustment by making voltage.In this case, as the spray volume units of variance, use can be set the driving pulse control assembly of the pulse width of drive signal changeably, corresponding to each nozzle this driving pulse control assembly is set.
In addition, can also under the contingent condition that each nozzle is at random made up the driving voltage and the pulse width of drive signal independently, carry out spray volume control.
As mentioned above, if adopt this first embodiment, then because (in detail with the spray volume units of variance, can make the Control of Voltage parts of the driving voltage value change of the driving pulse of supplying with a plurality of nozzles respectively) be connected on a plurality of nozzles, change the spray volume of each nozzle independently, so can make the spray volume homogenising between each nozzle simply, therefore can control the black loading in the pixel equably.And, in order to revise tone, do not need to carry out China ink ejection adjustment at interval.In addition, when carrying out tonal correction,, can not make the black loading in the pixel consistent with desired value accurately sometimes though, only revise the black loading in the pixel by the China ink ejection adjustment of (China ink ejection number) at interval., in this first embodiment,, can change the black spray volume of each, so can make the black loading in the pixel consistent accurately with desired value owing to adjust each nozzle driving voltage and driving pulse separately.Therefore, compare, can make discrete littler high-grade color filter of the black loading between each pixel with the situation that adopts the tone adjustment to make color filter.
(variation of first embodiment)
In this variation, the spray volume modification method when making its a plurality of color filter that varies in size with a glass substrate is described.
Figure 26 be expression with a glass substrate make its a plurality of color filters that vary in size (have pixel A color filter, the color filter of pixel B is arranged) time figure.
Under the situation black, be necessary to change the black spray volume of nozzle like this according to the size of pixel to the pixel ejection that varies in size.Under the situation of Figure 26, No. 9 nozzles carry out the China ink ejection to pixel A and pixel B, so during to each pixel ejection China ink, must change spray volume.Here, although only understand and carry out describing of two pixels with No. 9 nozzles, in fact No. 9 nozzles nozzle in addition also carries out describing of two pixels.In addition, if the kind difference of the color filter of manufacturing, certainly, the nozzle of describing that carries out multiple pixel is also different.For corresponding to various forms, all the nozzles structure that can both change spray volume independently necessitates.In addition, in this variation, the black spray volume that can not individually control each nozzle makes the spray volume homogenising of whole nozzles., when the pixel of identical size is described, control spray volume identical.In other words, carry out the control of spray volume like this: pixel A is carried out the China ink ejection with spray volume A, pixel B is carried out the China ink ejection with spray volume B.Like this, make the black spray volume homogenising corresponding to the pixel of identical size, this point is identical with first embodiment.
Figure 27 is the figure that expression is set at the direction of scanning of ink gun the situation longitudinally of pixel.In this case, because No. 5 nozzles are described pixel A and pixel B, so be necessary to change the spray volume of each China ink.In addition, in this case, not only Mo spray volume but also scanning times also need change.That is, pixel A is carried out 4 scanning, and pixel B is carried out 2 scanning.
Figure 28 represents the scanning times of each nozzle, the situation that spray volume all must change.
As mentioned above, if adopt this variation, then owing to make the spray volume units of variance corresponding to each nozzle, can change the spray volume of each nozzle independently, even so carry out China ink when ejection for the different pixels bigger than same nozzle, also can use spray volume to spray China ink, so no matter which pixel can both fill the China ink of aim parameter to corresponding to pixel size.Therefore, can obtain the different multiple color filter of pixel size from a substrate with simple method.That is, can realize the different multiple color filter of pixel size with simple method.
(second embodiment)
As mentioned above, the black spray volume of each nozzle is subjected to the influence of the nozzle number of the situation of ejection/non-ejection of adjacent nozzle and use.Therefore, in a second embodiment, be characterised in that the influence of considering them, drive conditions such as the driving voltage value of each nozzle of control supply and pulse width.In addition, structure in addition (for example, spray volume control circuit shown in Figure 180 etc.) is identical with above-mentioned first embodiment, so its explanation is omitted.In other words, in this second embodiment, the spray volume units of variance is provided with corresponding to each nozzle, so that each nozzle changes black spray volume independently.
Illustrated among Figure 29 the expression present embodiment feature color filter describe flow process.So-called programing change in Figure 29, the shape of the size of the color filter 54 that expression makes, resolution, glass substrate 53, size etc. are switched (step S501).If any one condition wherein changes, employed nozzle combination just changes.Change the view data (step S502) of describing each nozzle and using accordingly with it.
, if the combination and variation of employed nozzle, then as described in the goal of the invention part, the nozzle that changes for the condition of the use/non-use of adjacent nozzle, even under electric identical drive condition, carry out the China ink ejection, because the influence that adjacent nozzle is crosstalked, so spray volume also changes.Therefore, consider the influence that adjacent nozzle is crosstalked, set the spray volume controlling value (step S503) balanced with it.Specifically, be altered under the situation of the nozzle service condition shown in the c among Figure 35 in the nozzle service condition shown in the b from Figure 35, change with the condition of use/non-use of having nozzle (ch12) adjacent nozzles (ch11, ch13) in mind, accompany with it and be subjected to adjacent influence of crosstalking, at this moment, the spray volume of having nozzle in mind reduces.Therefore, reducing part in order to replenish this, is to set necessary condition (spray volume controlling value).Therefore, as the spray volume controlling value, be that the conditional value that can revise the changing unit of the spray volume that causes owing to adjacent influence of crosstalking gets final product, for example, be conditions such as driving voltage value or pulse width.Obtain this spray volume controlling value in advance.
After as above having carried out the setting of spray volume controlling value, carry out color filter and describe (step S504).As long as do not change the adjacent nozzle condition (step S505 "Yes") of crosstalking, just can use same spray volume controlling value, carry out the several times color filter repeatedly and describe.
On the other hand, if switchings such as the shape of the size of the color filter that makes 54, resolution, glass substrate 53, size, then promptly use same ink gun under electric identical drive condition, to spray, but because the influence that adjacent nozzle is crosstalked, spray volume changes, so set the spray volume controlling value (step S506 "Yes") balanced with it once more.
If adopt above structure, even then the service condition of nozzle has changed, but because the influence that crosstalked by adjacent nozzle hardly, so the spray volume of nozzle is constant, the black spray volume on each pixel of color filter also keeps certain.
In addition, using independent nozzle or a plurality of nozzle a pixel of color filter to be carried out under the situation of repeatedly China ink ejection,, not necessarily each spray volume of each nozzle must be kept certain for the spray volume on certain specific pixel of color filter is kept certain.In other words, the black spray volume in the time of also can adjusting repeatedly spraying arbitrarily in the ejection is so that the ejection total amount that the repeatedly ejection of certain specific pixel is obtained reaches aim parameter.
Figure 30 is the process flow diagram of describing of another embodiment of expression.In Figure 30, the corresponding situation when showing the condition switching of using nozzle number.For example, suppose to have 160 nozzle arrangement to become the ink gun of row.Using this to describe under the situation of color filter, though use whole 160 nozzles to describe, because the size of color filter and the relation of nozzle number, when last scanning area was scanned, sweep amplitude diminished, and occurs obsolete remaining nozzle sometimes.In the case, be last scanning when describing, become 100 nozzles that for example only use in 160 nozzles and describe.
Suppose to have situation about describing with employed nozzle number P (160) and situation about describing with employed nozzle number Q (100), under the situation of Q, use, is not used from the 101st to 160 to the 100th nozzle from first.If be conceived to the 100th nozzle here, then under the situation of P, roughly ejection simultaneously is black from two adjacent nozzles, so the spray volume of the 100th nozzle is big.On the other hand, under the situation of Q, the 99th nozzle roughly carries out the China ink ejection simultaneously, owing to do not use the 101st nozzle, so compare with the situation of P, the spray volume of the 100th nozzle (having nozzle in mind) diminishes.
Therefore, under the situation of the situation of P and Q, as shown in figure 30, be necessary to set and revise spray volume controlling value to each nozzle setting.Under P, Q condition separately, attempting in advance describing, measuring spray volume (step S511, step S513), according to its calculation control value (step S512, step S514) as a result.That is, concerning the 100th nozzle, only when the scanning of last scanning area, by switching to the modified value that spray volume increases, the spray volume that will have nozzle in mind keeps certain.In addition, in step S511～step S514, the multiple combination of P, Q value is made data.
In the later step of step S514, in step S515, the color filter that contrast is so far made, the change view data is in step S516, according to the data of trying to achieve in step S512,514, set the spray volume controlling value of each nozzle, in step S517, carry out describing of color filter again.In step S518, step S519, judging whether to use the nozzle number identical with the nozzle number of so far using to carry out color filter again describes, perhaps whether change nozzle and describe with other nozzle number, under the situation that continues to describe with same nozzle number, do not carry out the change of spray volume controlling value, under situation about describing with other nozzle number, change spray volume controlling value is returned step S515.
Like this,, suitably switch the spray volume controlling value by following the change of using nozzle number, though adjacent nozzle crosstalk influence change of circumstance, but do not cause the variation of spray volume, so that the black spray volume on the pixel of color filter can keep is certain.
Figure 31 is the process flow diagram of describing of another embodiment of expression.In Figure 31, the corresponding situation when showing the combination switching of using nozzle in each scanning of describing.In detail, in consider to scan by substrate for the second time second time at first pass that head scans by substrate for the first time and at head, the situation that the nozzle of use is different.
Here, being conceived to first pass might as well second time employed some nozzle A.The condition whether adjacent nozzle of this nozzle A (having nozzle in mind) is used is different in second time at first pass sometimes.In other words, in first pass, use the adjacent nozzle of nozzle A, in second time, do not use the adjacent nozzle of nozzle A, perhaps opposite.If like this, then because the influence of crosstalking with the adjacent nozzle of Figure 35 explanation, the spray volume of nozzle A is different in second time at first pass.
Therefore, for the spray volume that makes nozzle A in first pass and second time equals the desired value of defined respectively, respectively in first pass and second time, the spray volume controlling value of nozzle A is set at different values.The whole nozzles that change of crosstalking of adjacent nozzle in first pass and second time are carried out the change of such spray volume controlling value.
That is, as shown in figure 31, each all in, by corresponding to the adjacent nozzle of each nozzle ejection condition, change setting spray volume controlling value suitably equates the spray volume of each nozzle in first pass and second time, can realize the homogenising of nozzle spray volume.
Adopt such method, even under each situation all over the combination change of the nozzle of middle use of describing, the spray volume of each nozzle also can keep necessarily, also can keep certain to the spray volume of the pixel of color filter.
Specifically, in step S521 shown in Figure 31, begin to carry out the scanning of color filter,, then in step S522, the position of ink gun is offset to sub scanning direction if single pass finishes.At this moment, if the figure (step S523 "Yes") that adopts first pass to use, then in step S525, read in the image graphics that first pass is used, in step S526, each nozzle that uses is set the first best spray volume controlling value respectively in first pass, in step S527, carry out describing of color filter.On the other hand, in step S523, step S524, predicate second time with the situation of figure under, each nozzle in second time, using in step S529, set the second best spray volume controlling value respectively, in step S530, carry out describing of color filter.
If adopt this structure, then under the different situation of the nozzle that uses between each time, between each nozzle, suitably change the spray volume controlling value, so even between each time in the nozzle (having nozzle A in mind) that the behaviour in service of adjacent nozzle changes, also can not cause the variation of spray volume.
Figure 32 is the process flow diagram of describing of another embodiment of expression.In Figure 32, show that a nozzle B as ink gun becomes bad and corresponding situation when not using nozzle B to describe.
Though it is several that the method for not using nozzle B to describe color filter has, but here, consider to make a spray volume of whole nozzles certain, replenish the situation of finishing originally the pixel that should scan by nozzle B with another nozzle (as the nozzle A of the adjacent nozzle of jetting nozzle B not or nozzle C etc.).
If do not use nozzle B, then the principle of crosstalking according to the adjacent nozzle among above-mentioned Figure 35 is compared during with the use nozzle B, and the spray volume of adjacent nozzles A, nozzle C reduces.
Therefore shown in figure 32, determine bad nozzle B, after bad nozzle B carried out not spraying processing, once try again to describe (step S531), change and obtain the spray volume homogenising correction factor (step S532) of adjacent nozzle A, adjacent nozzle C, setting and modifying behind this spray volume homogenising correction factor (step S533), begin to carry out color filter again and describe (step S534).At this moment, set the spray volume controlling value of nozzle A, nozzle C, so that the spray volume of nozzle A, nozzle C becomes the desirable value identical with other nozzles.In addition, when carrying out the describing of step S524, proceed to describe unusual detection (step S535), describe (step S536 "Yes") under the unusual situation having detected, in step S538, carry out determining of bad nozzle, after the bad nozzle of determining carried out not spraying processing, return step S531 in step S539.In addition, in step S536, do not detect and describe to enter step S537 under the unusual situation, before the manufacturing of the color filter of predetermined one group of number finishes, execution in step S531～step S537 repeatedly.
Adopt the method among this Figure 32, carry out color filter when describing even become bad and be used nozzle B in nozzle B, the spray volume of adjacent nozzle A, adjacent nozzle C also can keep necessarily, and it is certain that the spray volume on the pixel of color filter can keep.
Figure 33 is the process flow diagram of describing of another embodiment of expression.In Figure 33, show before and after making the ejection sequential of each nozzle and stagger a little, the corresponding situation when revising the inking position of each nozzle.
Because the manufacturing accuracy of ink jet type head is discrete, even all nozzle drives simultaneously, also can disperse in the inking position of each nozzle sometimes.In the case, be necessary to revise the inking position of each nozzle by staggering a little before and after the ejection sequential that makes each nozzle.Here, the such situation of imagination.
Even use same nozzle B, stagger if make with the driving sequential front and back of this nozzle B adjacent nozzles A, nozzle C, then as with as described in Figure 35, owing to adjacent influence of crosstalking, the spray volume of nozzle A, nozzle C changes.In order to compensate its margin of error, making in advance under the condition that staggers before and after the driving sequential of nozzle A, nozzle C, measure the nozzle B spray volume, according to this measured value, try to achieve the spray volume controlling value of nozzle B.At this moment, set the spray volume controlling value of nozzle B, so that the spray volume of nozzle B becomes the desirable value identical with other nozzles.
In addition, even under the situation of using same ink jet type head to describe, if for example shape of color filter, size, material difference, the translational speed of ink gun (sweep velocity) also changes when then describing.Accompany with it, the ejection sequential that the inking position compensation is used also changes.So the adjacent situation that influences of crosstalking changes, spray volume also changes.Suppose that translational speed is slack-off, the skew of the driving sequential of adjacent nozzle increases, and spray volume reduces in general in the case.If the translational speed of ink gun is determined, just can determine this reduction, the spray volume that can determine each nozzle is the spray volume controlling value of certain desirable value.
Adopt the method for this Figure 33, change the translational speed of ink jet type head, thereby even when revising the side-play amount of the ejection sequential of using the inking position and changing, the spray volume of each nozzle also can keep necessarily, the spray volume of the pixel of color filter is kept necessarily.
Specifically, at first carry out the examination first time and describe (step S541), measure the inking position (step S542) of each nozzle,, carry out the correction (step S543) of inking position according to this measurement result.Then, carry out the examination second time and describe (step S544), measure the spray volume (step S545) of each nozzle, set the spray volume controlling value (step S546) of each nozzle, then, carry out color filter and describe (step S548 "Yes"), carry out color filter repeatedly and describe.In addition,, then return step S541, carry out same work repeatedly if under other conditions, describe color filter (step S549 "Yes").
Figure 34 is the process flow diagram of describing of another embodiment of expression.In Figure 34, show by staggering a little before and after the ejection sequential of each nozzle, when revising the inking position of each nozzle, the corresponding situation when in outlet that the ink jet type head moves and loop, on color filter, describing respectively.
Identical with the situation of Figure 33, because the manufacturing accuracy of ink gun is discrete, so even drive whole nozzles simultaneously, also disperse in the inking position of each nozzle sometimes, so stagger a little before and after the ejection sequential with each nozzle, revise the inking position of each nozzle.
If desire shortens describing the time of color filter, then be preferably in the moving back and forth of ink gun, all describe at round both direction.In the case, the ejection timing off-set amount used of the inking position correction of certain nozzle B is positive and negative opposite.That is, for example, in order to revise the inking position of nozzle B,, suppose to drive nozzle B with respect to nozzle A and leading 1 microsecond of nozzle C describing of going to, return describe in must postpone 1 microsecond with respect to nozzle A and nozzle C and drive nozzle B.Concerning nozzle B, during fast and slow 1 microsecond of the driving of adjacent nozzle A, nozzle C, spray volume diminishes when the spray volume difference of nozzle B, slow in general 1 microsecond.
In Figure 34, carry out in advance ink gun go to the examination describe and return the examination describe, obtain the spray volume controlling value (step S551～step S557) of each nozzle under the various situations.Then, go to describe the time (step S559 "Yes"), the spray volume controlling value (step S562～step S563) that setting goes to direction to describe, return describe the time (step S561 "Yes"), set the spray volume controlling value (step S565～step S566) that Return-ing direction is described.As above, can compensate the influence that the adjacent nozzle that goes to and return is crosstalked, for same nozzle, go to describe the time spray volume and return describe the time spray volume equate.
Adopt the method for this Figure 34, by staggering a little before and after the ejection sequential that makes each nozzle, when revising the inking position of each nozzle, even go to road and return in the road again under situation about describing on the color filter what ink gun moved respectively, the spray volume of each nozzle also keeps necessarily, and the spray volume of the pixel of color filter is kept certain.
As mentioned above, if adopt this second embodiment, then because the influence that the adjacent nozzle that the change of the ejection condition of consideration and nozzle is accompanied is crosstalked, follow the change of ejection condition, suitably change spray volume controlling value (driving voltage value and pulse width etc.), so the influence that crosstalked by adjacent nozzle can not make the spray volume of each nozzle change.When particularly having the spray volume control of nozzle in mind, follow the change of having the ejection condition (adjacent nozzle also is driven simultaneously or constantly is driven or is not driven) of the adjacent adjacent nozzle of nozzle with this in mind nearby, suitably switch the spray volume controlling value that this has nozzle in mind, so can make the spray volume of each nozzle often keep evenly the image that can describe to be speckless.
In addition,, then can stably make the high-quality color filter that is speckless, can adapt to the change of product specification simultaneously effectively with high finished product rate if adopt this method to make color filter.
(other embodiment)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various application are all possible.
The painted portion that for example constitutes color filter is not limited on glass substrate and forms, and forms painted portion on pixel electrode, also has the function as color filter.In order on pixel electrode, to form painted portion, such two kinds of situations are arranged: on pixel electrode, form black accommodating layer, China ink is supplied with the situation of this accommodating layer; And make the painted situation of pixel electrode with the ink resins of having sneaked into the look material.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to the manufacturing of above-mentioned color filter, for example, also can be applicable to the manufacturing of EL (electroluminescence) display element etc.The EL display element has and utilizes negative electrode and anode will contain the structure that fluorescent film inorganic and organic compound is clipped in the middle, electronics and hole (hole) are injected above-mentioned film, by combination again, generating exciton, is a kind of fluorescence that utilizes this exciton to lose to discharge when swashing or phosphorescence and luminous element.(comprise the ejection control circuit among above-mentioned jet head and above-mentioned Figure 18 with manufacturing installation of the present invention, the manufacturing installation that comprises the fluid Supplying apparatus that to carry out the flow process among Figure 21 or Figure 29 to Figure 34 etc.), present material rubescent, green, blue light in the fluorescent material of using in the EL display element that utilizes ink-jet method to make to make like this and on device substrates such as TFT, constitute figure, can make the panchromatic EL display element of autoluminescence.Also comprise such EL display element, the manufacture method of giving display element and manufacturing installation thereof etc. among the present invention.
Manufacturing installation of the present invention also can be such device: adhere to easily in order to make the EL material, and the parts that Cement Composite Treated by Plasma, UV handle, cooperate surface treatment procedures such as (coupling) processing to use are carried out on the surface that pair resin resist, pixel electrode is arranged and become the layer of lower floor.
Can the section of being used for show or simultaneously luminous comprehensively row message areas such as static picture demonstration with the EL display element of manufacture method manufacturing of the present invention, can also be as light source utilization with point-line-surface shape.In addition, based on the display element of passive drive,, can obtain the panchromatic display element that brightness is big, response is good by active components such as TFT being used for driving.
Below, provide an example of utilizing the organic EL that the present invention makes.Figure 37 represents the stepped construction sectional view of organic EL.Organic EL shown in Figure 37 has transparency carrier 3001, dividing plate (insulating element) 3002, luminescent layer (illuminating part) 3003, transparency electrode 3004 and metal level 3006.In addition, 3007 expressions are called driving substrate by the part that transparency carrier 3001 and transparency electrode 3004 constitute with it.
As long as have as necessary characteristic such as the transparency of EL display element and physical strength as transparency carrier 3001, just be not particularly limited, for example can use the substrate of light transmissions such as glass substrate or plastic base.
Dividing plate (insulating element) the 3002nd mixes between adjacent pixels for this material is unlikely when supplying with the material of formation luminescent layer 3003 from the feed flow head, and has the member with the isolated function of pixel and pixel.That is, next door 3002 has the function that prevents wall as mixing.In addition, by this next door 3002 is set, can on substrate, form at least one recess (pixel region) on transparency carrier 3001.In addition, even next door 3002 is the different sandwich construction of affinity to this material, also out of question.
Driving substrate 3007 constitutes like this: multilayers such as stacked not shown thin film transistor (TFT) (TFT), wiring membrane and dielectric film can be that the unit is added in voltage between metal level 3006 and each transparency electrode 3004 with the pixel.Adopt well-known thin-film technique, can make driving substrate 3007.
In the organic EL with above-mentioned layer structure, in the pixel region that voltage is added between transparency electrode 3004 and the metal level 3006, electric current flows through luminescent layer 3003, produces electro optical phenomenon, and light penetrates by transparency electrode 3004 and transparency carrier 3001.
The manufacturing process of organic EL is described here.
Figure 38 A-D is the figure of one of the manufacturing process of expression organic EL example.Below, according to Figure 38 each operation A～D is described.
Operation A
At first, as transparency carrier 3001, not shown thin film transistor (TFT) (TFT), wiring membrane and dielectric film etc. are laminated into multilayer, form transparency electrode 3004, voltage can be added on the pixel region with glass substrate.
Process B
Secondly, on the position between each pixel, form next door 3002.Next door 3002 is so long as when supply with constituting the EL material of luminescent layer with ink-jet method, and EL material liquid is unlikely to be mixed having as mixing of usefulness and prevent that the next door of the function of wall from getting final product between pixel.Here, though with the resist that has added black material, adopt photoetching process to form, the invention is not restricted to this, various materials, color, formation method etc. can both be used.
Operation C
Secondly, adopt ink-jetting style that the EL material is filled in the recess that surrounds with next door 3002, form luminescent layer 3003 through heat treated then.
Step D
On luminescent layer 3003, form metal level 3006 again.
Operation A～D through such can form panchromatic EL element with simple operation.Particularly under the situation that forms colored organic EL, owing to be necessary to form the luminescent layer of the light of different colours such as can sending red, green and indigo plant, be effective so adopt the ink-jetting style that can spray desirable EL material in position arbitrarily.
In addition, in the present invention, by fluent material being filled in the recess that surrounds with the next door, form solid forms portion, if color filter, then painted portion is equivalent to above-mentioned solid forms portion, if EL element, then illuminating part is equivalent to above-mentioned solid forms portion.The solid forms portion that comprises above-mentioned painted and illuminating part is the part (display part) that information shows usefulness, also is the part used of identification colors visually.
In addition, the illuminating part of painted of color filter and EL element also can be described as the color development portion of the part usefulness that produces color (generation color).For example, under the situation of color filter, the light that is produced by back of the body irradiation passes through painted portion, can send each coloured light of RGB, and is luminous voluntarily by illuminating part under the situation of EL element in addition, can send each coloured light of RGB.
